My mouse hand is cold

Brian Delahunty

This has been happening a lot to me lately. When I've been using a computer for a while my right hand [the one I use the mouse with] always gets very cold. My other hand always is fine. I presume it's bad circulation or something. :-( Does anybodyelse have this problem??? :wtf: [or is it just me :~] [cool. i typed this without looking at the keyboard... :cool:

it happens to me from time to time. and yes, it's kind of... :omg: maybe you should excersize your right hand more often...or maybe not. i don't know. what am i talking about? -c

Cheap oil. It's worth it!

Try swapping your mouse to the left hand (swap buttons too). This will give your right hand a break. Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

I ignored it until the only sensation in my right arm was a strange combination of numbness and shooting pains up the length of the arm. I tried for a time using a Chiropractor, but saw no relief until I went for a massage. Snapping the bones and "adjusting" the spine did nothing, but kneading the tiny knots in the upper back increased the flow and relieved the problem. It hasn't come back, and that was over a year ago. I highly recommend it! I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

Ok. So it's probably slightly more seriouse than I thought it was. Must have a look into it :-)

Give rest to your hand. It's bad circulation :-( It happens a lot to me on the winter. X| Cheers, Joao Vaz A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person - Natalie Portman (Padme/Amidala of Star Wars)

You may be a good beta-tester for my mouse-emulation application :) It emulates the mouse through keyboard shortcuts (I'm finishing it because I've an injured ankle and I've to keep my left leg on another chair, making any mouse movement almost impossibile :)). -- Looking for a new screen-saver?

Now I'm moving onto brushing my teeth with my left hand, now that is proving a challenge... Have fun, Paul Westcott.

When I play hurling [I always have a hurley in my hand or the ball.. so I use my hands a lot] and when I'm working outdoors [normally chopping wood at home or scaffolding] I never get this probalem.

Takes a while to get used to it. I have a RH mouse for home and a LH mouse for work. I do it that way to annoy the techies when I need them to set up my PC for something. Anyhow, I used to get pain in my right hand before I started this trick and after I got used to it, the pain went away Paresh Solanki Never hit a man with glasses. Hit him with a baseball bat.

I'll beta test away so!!! :-D

There is always uncertainty, Paul. But since I used boiling water, I feel much more certain than before.:) I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!

Your computer is turning you into a machine - slowly draining the warmth and life out of your hand. It's beginning with your mouse hand because it's in constant contact with the machine. That's my expert medical opinion.

That's the place, and all around the perimeter of them. It seems those little knots are constantly in spasm, and the not only pinch nerves, but diminish blood supply, as well. I Drowned Schroedinger's Stupid Cat!
